Peer-To-Peer
A key element of our processes is to provide you with the results of a peer-to-peer discussion between one of our Sales Analysts and the C-level decision-maker at a target account. Our staff has a knack for "connecting" with these individuals and understanding their problems, particularly those that are relevant to your technology. Our processes build on these talents. The alternative to a lead based on a peer-to-peer conversation is a brief lead report with minimal detail, which leaves you guessing about the validity of the lead and having no understanding of an account's profile, decision-makers, or your strategy for closing a deal.
When operating in a complex selling environment, it is critical to gain a detailed and multi-faceted view of the challenges and opportunities you'll face. At Boardwalk, we pierce the toughest of accounts, speaking to the highest-level decision-makers and holding lengthy discussions — all in the interest of properly sizing up an account’s sales potential.
Upon uncovering an opportunity, we will identify areas of business need that are behind the purchasing decision, profile the decision-making process, and conduct multiple interviews to uncover hidden biases and internal agendas. We'll also establish a solid next step such as a conference call or follow-up date. This may provide you with the "bridge" needed to carry the account from our seasoned sales analysts to your sales team for closure.
You'll receive this account intelligence in the form of a detailed Lead Report. Rather than being just a name and a number, this report is a multi-page roadmap detailing a specific strategy for closing the business. We customize the report contents for every lead development program, making sure the information is relevant, concise, and actionable. The ultimate objective is to keep your pipeline filled with ready buyers.
